I think it would be nice if the CofE stopped pushing their doctrine on children in taxpayer-funded state schools. Children should have freedom of (and from) religion too.

The world's political cartoonists cannot ignore Andrew's arrest, so here's a π§΅ of their takes, all brilliant & creative.
[Please, remember to credit when passing them on. We get to view these cartoons for free, but this is their work & livelihood. Thank you.]
Every new appointment to our undemocratic House of Lords chips away at the publicβs trust in our politics. The Government must launch a public consultation into the future of the House of Lords. Please sign our petition.

First Past the Post can no longer deliver real mandates - only chaos. 60% of Brits want it scrapped.
Yet the Representation of the People Bill wonβt even touch our voting system, which leaves millions unrepresented.
Tell Keir Starmer to change this.

It feels wrong that an MP can get elected on one platform and then just... swap? π€·ββοΈ Iβve signed this to demand a by-election when MPs cross the floor. Let's make sure our votes actually count. Add your name: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/re...

Refugees shouldn't have to wait 20 years to know if they are safe. New rules are leaving families separated and lives in limbo.
Join the campaign calling on Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood to scrap the 20-year wait. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/do...
The Government is planning to send King Charles to the US to celebrate with Trump. Giving him a royal visit right now sends a terrible message that his behaviour is acceptable. We can stop this if enough of us speak up. Will you add your name to the petition? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...
Here we go again. Trump has told the UK that if we want a UK-US tech deal, we need to buy chlorinated chicken from the US! π€’π How dare he try and impose poor food standards in Britain. Sign the petition to keep chlorine-washed chicken off our shelves: 38d.gs/cc-df
Antifascist stickers spotted in Dundee, Scotland
Millions of toxic plastic beads from Southern Water have washed up on Camber Sands beach, threatening dolphins, seals, seabirds, and our beaches. Sign the petition to make sure water companies pay for the cleanup of spills like this, not their customers: 38d.gs/ds-b
Thereβs a HUGE Elon Musk shaped hole in the Governmentβs new plans to improve our elections: shady billionaires like Musk can still donate massive amounts of money with no cap: effectively buying our democracy. Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...
π¨ An undercover sting just exposed alarming loopholes in Westminsterβs weak lobbying system: a fake Chinese company bought meetings with ministers and MPs, and it may not have even broken any rules! βοΈ Sign & share: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...
π₯ Highly recommended that you all sign and share.

For Shabana Mahmood to attack some of the most cruelly treated people in the world as having won a "golden ticket" because they manage to get to and claim asylum in Britain is unforgiveable.
A new, far right, low for which I can think of no precedent, by any UK Government.
Andrew Lownie wrote an explosive book about Prince Andrew
Then came the backlash. Legal threats. Palace sources told journalists not to speak to him
Anonymous social media accounts accused Lownie of visiting sex workers.

And if you are as thick as mince as to not understand exactly what they stand for, Then you deserve to be poorer. Because make no mistake, After they have demonised the immigrants, They will start to demonise the poor.

[Scene is the entrance cabin to a NATIONAL TRUST PROPERTY AND GARDENS] 1 NATIONAL TRUST EMPLOYEE [inside cabin]: Hello there 2 [A young family - two parents two kids - have arrived at the front desk]. DAD: Hi - do you have an activity trail, for the kids? 3 NT EMPLOYEE: Of course β youβre just in time for the Autumn Gammon Trail! 4 MUM: That sounds fun, doesnβt it kids? 5 NT EMPLOYEE [handing an activity sheet and pencils to the kids]: Every autumn, the Reform Trust gammons flock back to the National Trust for the AGM. Just follow the trail round the grounds, and see how many you can spot! 6 NT EMPLOYEE [hearing something in the gardens]: Listen - that's their call [Calls emanating from the landscape]: tut-tut woke-woke 7 NT EMPLOYEE [showing the family an apparently empty fenced enclosure with some bushes in]: They are extremely sensitive and fragile... But you can bring them out of hiding if you put a little sign down mentioning slavery. 8 KIDS [pointing]: There they are! [Some little red faced PEOPLE wearing Barbour jackets and gilets emerge cautiously from the bushes. They are creeping towards a TINY SIGN in the middle of the enclosure]. [Little people noises]: woke-woke tut-tut woke-woke 9 [Close-up of the TINY SIGN - we can read that it says]: Slavery had a bit to do with building this massive house. [Noises from the little people again as they inspect the tiny sign]: tut-tut woke-woke 10 MUM [pointing]: What's that one doing there? NT EMPLOYEE: Oh, that's so sweetβ¦ 11 [We see that one of the people is sat on a rock, with a little laptop open on a tree stump, and they are furiously typing away]. NT EMPLOYEE: I think he's writing a column for the Daily Telegraphβ¦ 12 [We see close up to the little personβs screen, it is a word document reading]: Are National Trust scones secretly WOKE? [ends]
If you're a National Trust member, it's that time of year again: Midnight tonight is the deadline. It's a shame people have to keep doing this to keep a toehold on historical truth in this country, but here we are. Voting link: www.nationaltrust.org.uk/who-we-are/a...

We need to rewild 30% of the planet to restore nature & protect our wildlife, but Britain is falling behind. So I've signed this new petition calling on one of our biggest landowners - the Church of England - to rewild its land. Join me? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...
Andrew is still a Duke. We need a law that strips titles quicker, MP Rachael Maskell is pushing this law through, and sheβs asked us to help
Tell your MP to act now π

On the centenary of Thatcher's birth, there have been predictable calls for a memorial to her memory. But Britain's 2300 food banks serve that purpose already.
